Clean Break Chats

Most people know Georgie Bingham as the voice they heard on Saturday mornings on TalkSport. What most people didn't know was what was happening behind the mic.

In this episode, Rich and Andy sit down with broadcaster-turned-coach Georgie Bingham for one of the most honest, raw and genuinely moving conversations we've had on the pod.

Georgie opens up about 25 years of early alarms, no weekends, and a career she slowly fell out of love with. About drinking alone in a house that never really felt like home. About a moment where she realised she was pretty much suicidal - and didn't even clock how serious that was at the time. And about how sobriety didn't just change her habits - it gave her back herself.
We talk about:
  • The "midlife funk" - and why it's not a crisis, it's a calling
  • Why giving up alcohol is the bravest thing you'll ever do
  • The toxic lad culture she navigated as the only female voice at TalkSport
  • FOMO, loneliness, and what it means to finally stop being a sheep
  • How coaching is helping people do in 5 months what took Georgie 5 years
This one hit differently. Whether you're sober-curious, deep in your own midlife moment, or just need to hear someone be brilliantly, unapologetically honest - this episode is for you.
